CLOSING IN ON BENEFIT CHEATS

Back in November we explained that although most people living in Spain are law-abiding citizens, there are unfortunately those who try to take advantage of the system and the British taxpayer, by claiming UK benefits they are not entitled to. But it´s important to know they are being caught. One lady, who claimed over £28,000 of UK income support (a non-exportable benefit) for 5 years whilst living in Alicante, was recently sentenced to 18 months imprisonment at Sheffield Crown Court.
Remember, you can help to stop the benefit cheats by reporting suspected fraud to the DWP´s Benefit Fraud Hotline. Call 900 554 440 in confidence and free of charge
